10. Old Ladies
Nothing terrible about old ladies. What’s terrible is the level of radiation they have to endure for the sake of coming home.
The Telegraph reports that the Soviet government evacuated 116,000 people after the Chernobyl accident, resettling most of them in apartments outside the exclusion zone. However, for some residents especially of the smaller villages, leaving wasn’t really on their minds.
About 1,200 people, known as "self-settlers," moved back into the exclusion zone in the months and years following the disaster. Most of them were over the age of 48, and of the handful that still survive today about 80 percent are female.
These self-settlers understand the risks. They know the soil is contaminated, but they grow food in it anyway. They raise chickens and hogs, despite the real dangers of eating meat that's been raised in the exclusion zone. And despite most of them being in their 70s and 80s, they are, miraculously, relatively healthy.
9. Tourists
According to Newsweek, 12,000 tourists visit the exclusion zone every year. Why, you might ask, would anyone risk radiation exposure for a bit of fun? Well, because they can, and with the right precautions, it’s actually relatively safe.
Hotels in the area request that you leave your "radioactive shoes" outside. However, it's unclear whether the tour company, the one responsible for bringing tourists into the exclusion zone, also has nuclear waste disposal services, given that you wouldn’t really want to be keeping any potential contaminated clothing with you.
These tour outfits do promise that you won’t turn into a radioactive mutant during one of these tours. Dosimeters rarely read high during a tour, in fact, according to Newsweek, the highest reading is similar to what you might get on a round trip flight from San Francisco to Paris.
Still, there are still risks in going on one of these tours, but the attraction is kind of hard to deny. Plus, an 11-hour excursion into Pripyat is actually shockingly cheap — about the cost of a two-day ticket to Disneyland.
8. A Giant Sarcophagus
But not the kind that you think.
The giant sarcophagus was built to do one thing; and that’s to contain the radiation spewing monster that is the failed nuclear reactor and all the deadly radiation that it still produces. This massive structure is the largest ever object moved by humans, and was made from 14 million cubic feet of concrete and just over 8,000 tons of metal.
Before containing the deadly terror within its thick walls, its makers faced the daunting task of building it. According to the BBC, workers assembled the original sarcophagus in shifts lasting five to seven minutes each because longer shifts might have actually killed them instantly instead of resigning them to a long, painful, cancer-ridden death much later in life.
The original sarcophagus was a complete failure, hence the mutated animals that we will talk about later. It took 20 years for engineers to come up with a solution. When the new sarcophagus was finally complete, the builders needed 18 ships and 2,500 trucks to actually move it and all of its parts from Italy to Chernobyl. It was finally installed in November 2016, and it now stands over the ruined reactor, a giant bane to visitors who were hoping to break into the much less-secure older version of the sarcophagus to take pictures of creepy dolls. Oh, and speaking of creepy dolls...
7. Creepy Dolls, Lots of Them
Pripyat is full of old, broken dolls. So many in fact, that people who go there are given some kind of weird, horror movie vibe, especially in and around the vicinity of the sarcophagus.
Wherever you go in Pripyat, one thing is a guarantee; there will always be creepy dolls staring at you. They sit on window sills, up on skeletal bed frames, they're sprawled out in piles of debris, some of them are even wearing gas masks.
